The Bristol Greens scrapped thousands of planned council house builds in Bristol, sold existing council houses and removed affordability requirements. Say one thing, do another, populism.

Where they’re in power, Green councils are backing out of their housing pledges entirely. In Bristol, the Green administration pulled its affordable housing targets earlier this year.

The Greens oppose housebuilding. Since 2018, they’ve opposed at least 42,000 new homes - including 13,000 affordable homes - across the country.

The Green Party want you to think that they care about housing. But here’s the facts that Zack Polanski would rather you ignore.

Biggest ever investment in youth centres. Right here in Lambeth. Great to welcome @SadiqKhan to Marcus Lipton in Brixton for his £30m investment in youth centres across London. 👉 We will expand our local provision with more safe spaces and free gym and swim for under-16s.

♻️ FREE COMMUNITY SKIPS COMING TO LAMBETH ♻️ If re-elected, Labour in Lambeth will introduce free community skips in every neighbourhood, reducing fly-tipping and making it easier than ever to dispose of bulky waste. Pride in our neighbourhood starts with cleaner streets.

In Lambeth we’re buying back former council homes to help undo the damage caused by Right to Buy depleting our housing stock. Investing in our council homes, building new ones & buying back old ones - we’re taking every step to tackle the housing crisis. love.lambeth.gov.uk/lambeth-to-buy…

Lambeth Labour is on the side of residents and our budget reflects this. We're building a brighter future for Lambeth.

✅ Building on our popular free swimming for U-11s, a re-elected Labour Council in Lambeth will introduce free gym and swim access for every under-16-year-old. Helping young people stay healthy, fit and included, and not costing parents a penny extra.

Pleased to vote today on a cross party London Assembly budget motion calling on the Mayor of London to urgently halt the closure of police station front counters and ensure Equalities Impact Assessments and mitigations are carried out. @LambethLabour @SouthwarkLabour

Still no sign of the @LambethLibDems budget, now nearly 48 hours late. If they can’t balance a budget, you can’t trust them to run your local services.

New month incoming… and here’s our latest Oval Labour Action Team newsletter 🗞️✨ Catch up on what we’ve been working on. Full copy below ⬇️

Thank you to all the residents of the Wyvil & Mawbey Brough estates who took the time to speak to us on Friday afternoon, despite the cold ❄️ We’ll be raising all the issues flagged to us with the council and the local police team.

Out on a walkabout with the Cabinet Member and senior officers, taking a proper look at the issues on Prima/Offley & adjacent roads. Really good conversations on the ground and a shared focus on fixing and improving things for residents! 🏘️ Keep an eye out for an update from us!

Empty seats at Full Council tonight where Lambeth Green Party councillors should have been, before any debates or votes took place. When it mattered, they left the room. They abdicated their responsibility to the residents of Lambeth that they were elected to represent.

Good news for Londoners. The Freedom Pass is vital for older Londoners, helping them stay connected to friends and family. Labour councils have my full backing to protect it 👏🏾

We are pleased to see that London Councils Labour Group backed by the Mayor have blocked the threat to the Freedom Pass, but this doesn’t mean the review will go away. @RossLydall @standardnews x.com/standardnews/s…

As a Labour leader, I’m proud we blocked proposals that could have restricted the Freedom Pass. For 1.2 million older Londoners, it matters, supporting independence, connection and access to everyday life across Lewisham and London.
